TRIPOD FOR HOLDING JELLY BAGS.

Application filed April is, 1925. Serial No. 23,603.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY Rnenooa PHIN- NEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tripods for Holding Jelly Bags, of which the fol-.

lowing is a specification.

My .said invention relates to a device for handily supporting jelly bags for draining the juice from the pulp and is readily adapted to be set upon the rim of any one of a variety of pans or vessels and is constructed so that it may be folded up in a compact manner. Vhile it'is particularly well suited for use in such manner it is not limited to the purpose outlined above but may be used for a great many other purposes of a similar nature.

Referring to the accompanying drawings which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts,

Figure 1 is an elevation of my invention, and

Figure 2 a section taken on line 22, Figure 1.

In the drawings reference character 1 indicates a plate or disk in the center of which is formed a boss 2 which is bored out to carry a hook 3. The hook may be retained in place by having its upper end peened out, as indicated by reference character 4, or-may be threaded into boss 2, or if preferred it may be arranged toturn so that it will face in any direction.

On plate 1 are formed three bosses 5 through which holes are bored to accom modate the bent upper ends of rods 6 in such a manner that the lower end of rodsG may be swung lnto or out from the axis of hook 3.

Rods G are retained in bosses 5 by riveting or peening over their hooked ends, as indi- 'cated by reference character 7.

'rim of any suitable pan or vessel 9; Into pan 3 may be placed a crock or other smaller vessel 10 for receiving the juice or other liquid that may drain from bag 11, which bag 11 is suspended by means of cord 12 or otherwise from hook 8. In this manner the juice may be removed or the bag changed without disturbing; the supporting device.

I It will be obvious to those skilled in the artthat my device may be changed in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention and therefore I do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification but only as indicated in the appended claim.

Havingthus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: a

A bag holder comprising a plate having integrally formed lugs disposed in spaced relation about its margin on its under side, supports for said plate having their upper ends bent over at right angles and pivoted in said lugs to swing toward and from the center of the plate said supports having; their lower ends bent to fit. over the rim of a pan, and a hook rotatably mounted in and de pending from said plate'substantially centrally of said lugs, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 13th day ofApril, A. D. nineteen hundred and twentyfive. I

MARY n'nenooa PHINNEY.
